With blackjack and hookers?

And vodka. Soooooo much vodka!

Their version of pre-natal vitamins.

Not sure if they’re aware, but the Balmer Peak occurs at a fairly specific BAC/intoxication level, and output quality drops off significantly after that point.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 8 months ago

I'm pretty certain it also depends on the type of alcohol being drunk. If you're sipping expensive whiskey you start to decide that 8 GB of RAM is a lot.

Please base russian linux on Hannah Montana linux.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 20 points 8 months ago

Why not Red Star OS? They can take North Korean soldiers but not their software?

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Holy shit that's a real thing

[–] finestnothing@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

There is also TempleOS, with a fork of C called Holy C built specifically for better integration with it

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 43 points 8 months ago (5 children)

North Korea did this already. I expect that Russia's effort will be as good if not better. Bonus comedy points if they use NK's effort as a starting point.

But I wouldn't try to use it if my Internet location was outside Russia. Or maybe even if it wasn't.

Also: something something falling out something something Windows.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

It might be interesting to set up a Russia Linux box as a honeypot.

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.fish 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I imagine Russia will do far better because they are not completely isolated from the rest of the world like North Korea.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

And they have a much more literate and especially tech literate population. And way more money than NK.

It will work just like every other Russian knock-off thing that gets made. Very shittily, and then end up in the bin.

Aren't they still also trying to make their own Steam? 🤣

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It will end up like every other Russian knock-off: made by the Chinese when Russia eventually gives up

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nah, it goes WAY back to pre-WW2. Russia basically made copying everyone else's technology a major economic driver for them for decades, and it was all based around trying to sucker poorer countries into buying their awful products.

Cameras, radios, cars, weapons. Hell they even stole NASA Space Shuttle designs and tech to build their own, which just ended up in a junkyard.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (8 children)

And the Buran system was more impressive than the shuttle, capable of completely automated flight!

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Oh? Which test flight demonstrated that?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I don't think it was ever confirmed. They only flew the thing once, which was confirmed. Anything else claiming superior tech I'd call USSR propaganda.

The fact that the Russian government came out this fast and said they need a version with their own commits is, perhaps, telling.

[–] WagnasT@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Russian government officials trying to get away from windows, eh?

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 19 points 8 months ago

It depends what they want to do. They can fork and take on the burden of maintaining the whole tree in which case good luck with that, linux is too much of a fire hose to enable a 3rd party to assemble something similar making different choices about what they merge. Otherwise they can maintain a re-based fork that tracks the Torvalds tree and then congratulations you've just invented a feature tree that can do contribution with extra steps.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

A special forking operation will be underway. The new kernel will be complete in just a few days, like the inva- er... denazification of Kyi- er.. Kiev.

E: lol, fuck off to the frontline and die for mother Ruzzia, tankies

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago (7 children)

They're just jumping the newscycle for the propaganda machine. Russian government doesn't care about tech or linux unless it can help them deliver more bombs to Ukrainian babies and you don't need to fork the kernel for that.

Astra (used in MIC) is outdated shit, RED OS (more commercial) is cooler and wine'd in a lot of our windows-oriented apps, but both would have a hard time without international community if threatened.

That's just some figureheads shitting with their mouths. There are millions of machines still running Windows with no way to change without a pushback from users and admins, and also some Linux machines that would only suffer if we branch out.
